Question

Trisha drew a pair of line segments starting from a vertex.

Which of these statements best compares the pair of line segments with the vertex?

The line segments and the vertex have length as a dimension of measurement and there are three collinear points on each.

Line segments and the vertex have two endpoints each and the distance between the end points is their dimension.

Line segments have two endpoints and a vertex is a common endpoint where two line segments meet.

The line segments and the vertex have their lines extending in one direction only and the lengths of both are

Answer 1

Line segments have two endpoints and a vertex is a common endpoint where two line segments meet.

Explanation:

As both line have the same vertex, imagine both lines generating an angle between them, since they have a common vertex, this will also be the same end point that both segments share between them, they will only have other different endpoint and the space between those endpoints and the vertex would be the length of the segment.

Answer 2

The right answer for the question that is being asked and shown above is that: "Line segments have two endpoints and a vertex is a common endpoint where two line segments meet." The fact that they started from a single point, then by default these two line segments have the same one endpoint.
